Re: Airport (not the movie)

[Peter Tattersall]

I use a DSL line with the modem in my home office attached to a router, 
and one of the nodes in the router is an Airport. I've also strung 
fixed wire connections to my basement where my daughters have their 
lair. The Airport serves our ibooks. While I don't use the ibook much 
at home, my daughters mix their use. I often find them watching TV with 
their ibooks in their laps, but I also find them at their desktops 
making movies or scanning artwork. The cost for the fixed links was 
comparable to the cost for the Airport, which I purchased used over the 
net. If I had to do it all over again I'd keep the router only because 
it allows me to control the network in ways the Airport wouldn't. If 
the Airport had the same features I'd forget the router entirely.

Have any of the list members had experience using Airport to connect to

Any pros or cons?
Is this financial expenditure of Airport greater or lesser than what it
would have
cost to install a fixed, wired communications line to where ever you 
are
using same
assuming you're using it always in the same location, different from
where the line enters your residence.

In my case all my lines terminate in the basement.

I own a 55 year old brick residence. I could run  telephone lines for
computer use
(I have a dedicated backline exclusively for computer use); or I could
install an
Airport system...
ideas?
